Multiwavelength study of non-thermal emission in the Swift J1834.9-0846/W41 region
Swift J1834.9-0846/W41 区域非热辐射的多波段研究
We investigate the origin of non-thermal emission from the Swift J1834-0846/W41 region by modeling its broadband spectral energy distribution from radio to TeV energies within leptonic and lepto-hadronic frameworks using Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling. Motivated by morphological studies of HESS J1834-087 suggesting a two-component TeV structure, we explore a single extended source scenario and a configuration comprising a central point-like component embedded within extended emission. Purely leptonic models are disfavored in both scenarios by unrealistically low magnetic field strengths, whereas lepto-hadronic solutions yield field intensities and non-thermal energy budgets consistent with an evolved supernova remnant undergoing efficient cosmic-ray acceleration. In the two-component scenario, hadronic interactions dominate the extended TeV emission from W41, while the central excess is well described by a leptonic magnetar wind nebula powered by Swift J1834-0846, implying a short initial spin period of $P_0 \lesssim 0.2$ s. Simulated observations with the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory show that 30 h exposures will discriminate between the two morphological configurations and extend spectral measurements beyond $\sim$10 TeV.

W41 区域早在HESS巡天中被识别为TeV源HESS J1834-087,其延伸形态暗示可能存在中心点源与弥散成分叠加,但缺乏统一的宽带建模对比。本研究利用MCMC对全谱轻子/强子过程进行联合拟合,指出纯轻子模型难以自洽,而引入强子贡献后可自然解释延展辐射并给出与超新星遗迹年龄相符的能量预算,同时中心TeV超出由磁星风驱动的轻子星云成功描述。这一双成分图像为理解超新星遗迹中宇宙线加速与磁星风星云提供了新范式。未来CTA等新一代伽马天文台将凭借高灵敏度与角分辨直接分解外层强子壳与内部风云,为银河系宇宙线起源研究提供关键检验。
